The Pot, The Kettle, and the Vegan

[wmbwinn]

Thanks, Chum.

As I said repeatedly, the Vegan Ad is not an attack on the children of Obama. But, apparently Obama was really upset about it.

I thought he reacted in a strange way.

The issue of attack on the Palin children was done primarily by the media and pundits, not specifically by any Ad or statement of the Obama/Biden campaign. But... does anyone really divorce Democrat leaning media from the overall campaign strategy of the Democrat Party???
For comparison, do you divorce Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and other "Right Wing Nuts" from the overall strategy of the GOP???

Now, as to Mavdog's link to a TV Ad featuring the Obama children, here is a copy/paste narrative description:

According to political insiders, a negative ad targeting a rival's offspring is highly unorthodox, especially when the children in question are under the age of ten.

But after the two Obama kids scored in their performance on national television last night at the Democratic convention, "we had to do something to give the American people some straight talk on those two brats," Sen. McCain said today.

In the ad, which is being broadcast in key swing states, an announcer intones, "They're the cutest children in the world - but are they ready to lead?"

The spot uses visuals to link the two Obama kids to other famously cute kids, such as the young Drew Barrymore and the Cabbage Patch dolls.

The commercial goes on to blast the Obama children for "smiling and giggling but refusing to state their position on offshore oil drilling."

While some critics questioned how well the ad would play in living rooms across America, Sen. McCain defended it, telling reporters, "It played very well in all of my living rooms."

The actual Ad did nothing more than compare Obama to children (albeit his children) essentially saying he was young and inexperienced and would not/could explain his positions on issues...

Does anyone out there think that that is an attack on his children???

Now, be careful when you read the copy/paste up there. I don't have the video link. The narrative is comtaminated by someone else describing the Ad. What does the author describing the Ad mean when he says the following:

the commercial goes on to blast the Obama children for "smiling and giggling but refusing to state their position on offshore oil drilling."

What does he mean by the use of the word "blast"???
The copy/paste description of the Ad was written by someone who took offense.

The Ad was nothing more than a comparison of Obama to his own children meaning that Obama was young, inexperienced, and couldn't/wouldn't explain his positions....

Nothing more....
